The Bus: 29 Hooligans from Chitown

Artist talk: April 5, 2013 | 8–11 pm

“You see; we come from a big, gray, wintry city that is full of Wonder, Poetry, and sadly immeasurable cruelty, as well as luminous Grace. Chicago is one place and a thousand others. The artists I’ve chosen for this typify this idea in spades. There is no one kind of Chicago artist–no monolithic , over reaching thematic narrative. We are a city populated by individuals. Poets. Dreamers. Square-Pegs. Knuckle-Heads, and necessary Angels. While New York has it’s schools, and LA its proud and varied scenes and movements. What we have is ourselves–One Man, One Woman, One step at a time taking the only journeys that mean anything to us– our own.” – Tony Fitzpatrick
